I enjoyed school and ultimately found it useful but it slowly tore me apart.

Can you explain how both of these can be true? Did it just take some recovery time?

As a teacher, we can often be just as frustrated over a situation. I have four classes that I love, and two classes that drive me nuts. The dynamic is bullshit - 5% of the class is under-challenged, which makes them disturb my class; 70% is over-challenged, and they just fall down; 25% of the class is okay and doing fine.

That's ridiculous. It seems to always be a huge mess when various levels of ability are combined... seems to only work out in tiny discussion classes.
